I would convert some into dollars and put it into a fixed rate deposit in Cambodia at around 6% per year. That way, you are getting a return and it can also serve as an emergency fund.

I will never forget.

It seems more difficult to negotiate a better rate on fixed term deposits than it used to be. I was making one a couple of years ago and more or less got told "take it or leave it".

Walkabout used to be the go to place where you could always break 100.00. I usually break mine in the Supermarkets.

I always try to order new 100.00 bills from the U.S. to bring to Cambodia. If I get a torn USD note, I take it to the machines at NAGA, insert the bill and maybe play a hand or two and cash out and take the ticket to the cashier.

I have been working in the U.S. for the past 5 months. In that time, I have seen one Biden bumper sticker, and hundreds of Trump signs, bumper stickers, billboards, etc. You cannot drive anywhere in the heartland of America for 20 minutes without seeing Trump signs. I also have been regularly wearin...

IMO, the cure for congested streets is to build more streets. Growing up in a suburb of Texas, and today in the suburbs of Texas, there are streets capable of handling traffic. There are also sidewalks and many parks. People are not going to give up their cars in Phnom Penh. I think they could build...
